Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Music Technology

This course and the staff have helped me gain a wide range of skills in live sound, recording and production. The staff are highly supportive and helped me fund a project where I have built my own electric guitar. I also used the College studio to record a music portfolio of songs. I also play guitar and drums and the College has now employed me to teach instrument lessons in Primary Schools. Overall, I have gained a huge range of knowledge and skills while studying here and my confidence has really improved!
